Tess Kesler – “Oda a la cebolla” from Pablo Neruda:
“In Spanish 3 Honors, students are required to do a video-poem based on a piece from literary giants such as García Lorca, Pablo Neruda and José Martí. Tess did a terrific video with Neruda’s “Ode to the Onion”. Her vision captures the humor and complexity of the poem. Neruda found beauty and poetry in everyday items and Tess found images and music that awesomely complement the author’s vision. Great work!” —Ms. Ortega
Ryan Cheung – “Los espejos” from Jorge Luis Borges:
“Students in Spanish 3 Honors create a video-poem based on a piece from Spain or Latin America. Ryan did his on “Los espejos” by master Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges. Ryan portrays superbly Borges’s themes of duplicity and illusion, as mirrors could be enchanting and deceiving. The music he chose complements the mystery in the poem. Enjoy!” —Ms. Ortega
